Percentage of Pelicans who have removed an engine.

Poll

[Bill Douglas]

I'm a yes. But it was a SC engine from a dead car.

[Rodney Nelson]

I voted no, but I did remove a Subaru engine from my 911 to restore it. Doesn't count in my opinion and upset that my first engine drop was a Subaru and not a 911.

[walt]

Voted yes. Thrice.

Edit: To be clear removed engine 3X but voted 1X.

Not the 911, but I have replaced a 326 CID with a 455 CID in a 1965 LeMans, and the 2.4L in my 240Z with a bored/stroked 2.9L.

[timmy2]

Twice, another one soon.

[gomezoneill]

Yes three 911's maybe a dozen times. But I have a nice garage and a lift.

[Quasimoto]

Several, just not a Porsche...yet.

[RWebb]

heh heh - I thought we might see a poll on this topic

I've done it way too many times (trying to diagnose a starter alignment issue), plus a couple times to upgrade from 2.7 CIS to 3.2 hotrod.

[jlex]

Does my '70 VW Beetle count?

[3rd_gear_Ted]

3.0L to 3.6L and a couple of heartbreak removal/installs
My VW's of the past; I lost count
Der Kleiner Panzer - 1973 - OCIR

[winders]

The question for me should be how many times! I have to say at least a dozen times and I will be adding to that total tomorrow.

[sky1jord]

I voted no, even though i did a 356 long ago.
Different beast, I know.

[Aurel]

Twice removed and twice rebuilt, top then bottom. 3.0L SC engine.

[AG81]

I voted No because I did not remove my current 911. But I have 1, 911 under my belt, 5 LS pulls and reinstalls,1 LT V8 Chevy, 1 TPI Chevy, 2 VW's, 1 Hemi, 3 Pontiac 400 and 455's and about 10 small block Chevys under my belt.

[kent olsen]

Gary Emory removed my 2.4 and installed my 2.7. Then I removed the 2.7 and installed my hotrod 3.0 twin plug engine. Also removed it to have the transmission rebuilt.

[proporsche]

and yes i did work full time here..

Thats awesome!

I have dropped my engine once using jackstands and removing the rear bumper.

I found it quite easy but I took my sweet time with it, I definitely wasn’t going to win any race!

Several times several cars. Just today dropped the 3.0 and 915 out of my 911 racecar to swap in another 915 for my last race of the season. Leisure pace by myself, 3hrs between driving into garage and setting the old 915 onto the workbench.
